Why Meat Pie deserves more attention

Meat Pie rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The fresh and light complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using Anzac oats correctly takes real skill.

Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural influences and developed a distinct contemporary style. I encountered it first in a beachside café and that context helped me understand it properly. Tim Tam with tea is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Meat Pie is the dish to start with.
